Exactly. My use of fluxbox on this machine was to test that X is even working over S-Video. (It is.) My goal after that was to emerge MythTV again and try running that. That causes X to crash for MTRR problems so that would be today's goal. This didn't used to happen with my old kernel and the fglrx driver so probably I haven't configured the kernel correctly? With xorg-server & fluxbox emerged I only needed about 20 packages to get Myth installed so I agree that xorg-x11 pulls in a bunch of stuff I probably don't need. I would have emerged xorg-x11 if I hadn't been reading through the xorg config guide once again and seen that this was an option. I'm not sure the other stuff is big, but it's a lot of packages. - Mark
